Message From The President To the members of the graduating classes of the high schools in the Weber College area, I extend the best wishes of the members of the "Weber College Family". Graduation from high school is an important day in a student's life. Another time is the day he decides to enter college in order to continue his general education on a higher level, or to perfect his skill in trade or a profession. The varied courses of instruction offered at Weber College are designed to meet the individual needs of all the youth of this area, because such courses lead not only to advanced study in the privileged professions and occupations, but also to competency in the semi-professions and skilled trades offered by the terminal division. The academic credits of Weber College are accepted at all accredited colleges and universities in the nation. Look Magazine, two years ago, rated Weber as one of the top fifteen junior colleges in the United States. The Weber College faculty is competent and cooperative. Many of our departmental members have gained national recognition in their respective fields. We have attempted at Weber not to lose the importantstudent-professor relationship which should ideally be one of close personal contact. Our college is small enough to offer students individual attention and yet large enough to offer the same activities larger colleges and universities do. Our athletic program is wide in scope. Our football teams play some of the finest junior college teams in the nation, the basketball squad has gained national recognition, and our debate teams hold the na tional championship. Weber College strives to provide its stu dents with the opportunity to participate in every worthwhile collegiate activity; the size of the student body increases an individual's opportunity for leadership. Every year the record of our rapidly growing institution is just a little better than the previous year. This is the reason the year 1950 is to be the best in our history. Yon will find our student body friendly. Many of the graduates of your high school are already enrolled at our institution, and the problem of getting acquainted is not a major one. In closing, I again extend to you our best wishes upon your graduation from high school and invite you to continue your education at Weber College.
